Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 537 The Last Clan Rebellion

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang once said something during the Dazexiang uprising: Princes, generals, and ministers, would you rather have your own kind?

Since ancient times, many people have regarded this sentence as a wise saying across classes, but in fact, this sentence is not limited to ordinary people.

Sometimes, for the royal family, this sentence may resonate more with them.

Prince and general, would you rather have a kind?
An ordinary person can say such a thing, so why do you and I have the same father? You can inherit the throne and rule the world, but I can only be an ordinary vassal king, a beauty with silk, gold and silver. The supply is inexhaustible, but I can only live on the small amount of money issued by the court?
A legitimate son or a concubine has cut off the possibility of many people in ancient and modern times rising to power.

Even if they are both legitimate sons, how many people will be cut off from the ladder of further advancement if the elders and younger ones are in order?

People can only empathize, they can only pity you from your perspective, but they can never empathize with you.

Especially when you are obviously the second son, and you are just a little bit close to getting the top power, the top life, and the top enjoyment in the world, but you are taken away by others.

Zhu Zhanyong is like this.

After returning home, the more Zhu Zhanyong thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

In the past, he was the second son of Emperor Hongxi, and there was a "good saint grandson" on his head.

Later, his good eldest brother passed away, but according to etiquette, it was his good nephew who succeeded to the throne.

Now, his good nephew has also passed away, and he has no heirs. According to the rules, there is a difference between the sons and daughters, and the order of the elders and the younger ones. Shouldn't he, the second son of Emperor Hongxi, be elected at this time to inherit the throne?

But why did Zhu Zhanhe never take him seriously? His sister-in-law only regarded him as a tool for revenge and had no intention of supporting him in his rise to power?

The more Zhu Zhanyong thought about it, the angrier he became. When he got angry, he even kicked over the table next to him.

However, anger is anger, but it is nothing more than impotent rage.

yes!There is a difference between concubines and concubines!Old and young in order!
yes!He, Zhu Zhanyong, is the second son of Emperor Hongxi!Now when the emperor dies without any heirs or brothers, he, the sibling brother of the late emperor and the legitimate second son of Emperor Hongxi, should take the throne!

But... what does he have?
Zhu Zhanhe had a large army and the most advanced firearms of the Ming Dynasty. His civil and martial arts were among the best in the world. Looking at all the emperors in history, Zhu Zhanhe may not be able to squeeze into the top ranks, but he is definitely one. Upstream.

And what about him, Zhu Zhanyong?

There is nothing remarkable about his martial arts skills, and he has never intervened in any political affairs. Now he is said to be a vassal, but in fact he is exiled to this slave Gandusi. He has no generals, no soldiers, and can even be said to be unarmed... …

What is he fighting for?

But... give up just like that?

He is not reconciled...

……

Prince Xiang's Mansion.

There is nothing outstanding about Zhu Zhanyong, and even like his name, he can be said to be mediocre.

But Zhu Zhanzhen was different.

The sincere and filial Empress Zhang gave birth to three sons for Emperor Hongxi and raised them all. Needless to say, the eldest son was Emperor Xuande, who was known as the "good saint grandson".

The second son is Zhu Zhanyong, and the third son is Zhu Zhanyong.

In the history books, Zhu Zhanqian was described as "serious and vigilant, with a good reputation", and he was called a virtuous king. After the civil engineering change, the civil and military officials even elected him as the new emperor of Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Zhanqian was very smart, he knew that the throne was a hot potato, so he was determined not to accept it, but instead gave this opportunity to Zhu Qizhen's younger brother Zhu Qiyu.

Things will be very simple in the future. When Bao Zong came back, Xiang Wang Zhu Zhanqian had meritorious service in guarding the Shuntian Mansion, and he retired. Zhu Qiyu, who once became the emperor, lost his wife and son, and even the throne was lost by Bao Zong in the later days. Stealed in the coup.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanzhen may not be a top smart person, but he is definitely not bad.

Similarly, he has his own unique insights into the current situation in Ming Dynasty, unlike his third brother.

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

A knock on the door interrupted Zhu Zhanqian's thoughts, causing him to raise his head and look in the direction of the study door.

After seeing that graceful figure, Zhu Zhanzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

"come in."

"What do you want, Your Highness?" Zhu Zhanzhen's princess Jingshi pushed open the door and entered, holding a tray in her hand.

"I saw that you didn't eat dinner, so I brought some food over. I always want some."

"Put it here." Zhu Zhanchen sighed.

"Where's Yong'er?"

Zhu Qiyong, the eldest son of Xiang Wang Zhu Zhanqian, also successfully inherited Zhu Zhanqian's Xiangwang position in history.

"Going to study." Mrs. Jing put down the tray and placed the meals in front of Zhu Zhanyi one by one.

……

"I know I shouldn't ask, but..." After putting down the food and watching Zhu Zhanqing pick up the chopsticks, Jingshi spoke with some hesitation.

"But I see that Your Highness has been a little restless since His Royal Highness the King of Yue left today, isn't it..."

Zhu Zhanzhen, who had just taken a bite of the food, paused when he heard this, then sighed and put down the chopsticks he had just picked up.

He saw more things and knew them more clearly than his third brother, but he also didn't know what to do.

The Prince of Wu was unstoppable. He first took over the chaotic Shuntian Mansion after the emperor was captured with a thunderbolt, and brought the Shuntian Mansion back to normal operation in a very short time.

Zhu Zhanhe did not have the slightest doubt about Zhu Zhanhe's ability in war. The countries that were destroyed around the Ming Dynasty, and even the messy Central Asia and Europe were all evidence of Zhu Zhanhe's military exploits.

And Wala was the first to know how fierce Zhu Zhanhe was.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanzhen believed that his cousin, whom he had not met a few times, would not be captured or even killed like his nephew.

But this is not a good thing for Zhu Zhanyi.

If his sister-in-law quietly accepted her fate, she would still be able to live her old life in the palace, but at most she would have no children in her later years and live a more miserable life.

However, with the death of his nephew, it was true that his sister-in-law's ambition disappeared, but she was filled with hatred.

Why did he and his third brother get together today?Isn't it because Cao Qin, the adopted son of Cao Jixiang, the eunuch of the Qin Tianjian and Zhaowu Bo, brought a message from his sister-in-law?

Gather the army and march to Beijing to quell the rebellion.

To put it lightly, the two of them have been exiled here since the last time Wu Wang's lineage took control of Shuntian. Although the vassal king's monthly salary has never fallen, they have no rights, and they are surrounded by people who monitor them.

At the beginning, his sister-in-law wanted them to gather troops and fight against Zhu Zhanhe under the banner of going to the capital to serve as king, but Zhu Zhanhe suddenly made a feint and evacuated Shuntian.

Life should have been easier for the two of them since then, but it was not.

After Zhu Zhanhe left, the two sons of Emperor Hongxi changed from helpers to threats. His sister-in-law not only didn't treat them favorably, but treated them even harsher.

Not only did they cut their monthly salary, but they also sent more people to monitor them.

Now, the King of Wu's lineage has made a comeback, and her son has died in a foreign land. Now she thinks of them again?Do you still want them to gather an army again and become her force for revenge?
How can there be such a good thing in this world!

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Zhu Zhanyi wanted to, he wouldn't take action.

In life, there are things to do and things not to do.

Here, the meaning of this sentence is not to say that some things can be done and some things cannot be done, but to see the situation clearly, some things can be done, but some things cannot be done.

The two brothers were exiled to this bitter cold place and were monitored for more than ten years. If they said they were gathering an army, they would gather an army?It's not that simple!
Thinking of this, he turned to look at his wife: "In a while... no, tomorrow, tell Yong'er tomorrow and be ready."

"We...I'm afraid we have to leave..."

……

Saiyinda Mountain.

Zhu Zhanhe is no longer here, but the Ming troops stationed here remain, but their tasks are different from those of ordinary Ming troops.

As a soldier, your mission is naturally to protect your home and country. The same is true for these Ming soldiers, but there is one more mission.

And this extra thing can be seen from the buildings rising from the ground at the foot of Saiyinda Mountain.

That’s not right, because it’s a building, but it’s not the same as a traditional building. It’s not made of earth, wood, masonry, but... people!

The one-month deadline has passed, and Zhu Zhanhe proved with practical actions that the words he asked Jiang Zhenxi to pass to Ye Xian were not just threats, but would actually be implemented.

However, Zhu Zhanhe was also a very trustworthy person. The Wala people who entered the Great Wall within a month were all safe, and they were taken to the household department of Shuntian Mansion to be registered. From now on, they will be the subjects of Daming.

However, the number of this group of people... was less than [-], and they were dispersed to various places, including densely forested areas in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou.

For herders who have lived on the grasslands for generations, this kind of terrain, this kind of climate and even their living habits are not something they can adapt to.

In a short period of time, let alone rebellion, I am afraid that even survival will be somewhat difficult.

But in comparison, they were lucky, because those who failed to enter the Great Wall within the specified time were all regarded as enemies by Ming Dynasty.

The Jingguan at the foot of Saiyinda Mountain... was built with these people.

Not only in Saiyinda Mountain, but also in Kuoluanhaizi, where the earliest Beijing temple was built in Zhu Zhanhe, a new Beijing temple was built on the ground.

In addition, in densely populated places like Luqu River, Onan River, and Hulanhushui, there are Jingguan, large and small, rising from the ground.

At this time, Zhu Zhanhe had temporarily given up on tracing the traces of Wala Yexian and others, and instead came to a place that he was familiar with but had never been to in person.

Duoyanwei, one of the three guards of Wuliangha.

Duoyanwei, or the entire Wuliangha Sanwei, has a deep relationship with Zhu Zhanhe, because all the officials and nobles in the Wuliangha Sanwei were arrested, and those who were taller than the wheel were killed. Filled in Jingguan.

At that time, it was precisely because Zhu Zhanhe argued hard in front of Emperor Taizong and fought against the Confucians, forcing Hu Guang and others to be speechless, that made Emperor Taizong make up his mind to deal with Wuliangha Sanwei.

It's a pity that the old man is no longer here. If the old man is still there, seeing the scene at this time, he should feel sober because he listened to Zhu Zhanhe's suggestion and cleaned up the three guards of Wuliangha, right?

After all, the three guards of Wuliangha back then dared to secretly support the Alutai Department to fight against Daming. In this situation, with the courage of the three guards of Wuliangha, I am afraid that they would have jumped back a long time ago.

Of course, there are no ifs in this world. If the old man could really live to this day, Daming would not have ended up in such a state that even the emperor was captured.

"Your Highness, do you still want to wait?"

Zhu Ping stood behind Zhu Zhanhe, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"We have been here for more than a day or two. The people we sent to Nuergandusi did not return any news of any unusual movements between King Yue and King Xiang."

"It's not that we can't wait, it's just that there are still Oara, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and even North Korea. Let's just wait here, right..."

At this point, Zhu Ping was speechless again.

He actually wanted to persuade Zhu Zhanhe to focus on the overall situation. Although King Yue and King Xiang are very likely to lead their troops south, this is not the most important thing, because King Yue and King Xiang do not have many people in their hands and cannot make any waves.

In comparison, Wala is the most important thing and it is also something that needs to be solved urgently.

Because Wala had captured the emperor of the Ming Dynasty before, as long as Wala's problem was solved...even without solving it, as long as he caught Ye Xian and brought him back to Shuntian Mansion, Zhu Zhanhe would have the best achievement of ascending to the throne.

However, Zhu Ping also knew that Zhu Zhanhe's thoughts were probably exactly the opposite of his.

As the guard who has been guarding Zhu Zhanhe for the longest time, Zhu Ping can probably guess what Zhu Zhanhe is thinking. It is simply that if Wala wants to escape first, it will not be an easy task for the Ming army to catch him. After all, The grassland is really too big.

But if the matter between King Yue and King Xiang is not resolved, it will definitely cause trouble in the future.

"Report!"

Just when Zhu Ping was silent, the shouts of the messengers pierced the sky, causing the entire Ming army camp to calm down briefly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The messenger came to the gate of the camp unimpeded. Before the horse could stop, he turned over and dismounted, ran two steps quickly, and rushed to a place three meters away in front of Zhu Zhanhe.

"The Crown Prince's guard reported back! The King of Yue and King Xiang are gathering their troops! But just when they were about to complete the gathering, King Xiang launched a surprise attack! Capture the King of Yue alive! He is now heading towards our army camp!"

After hearing the words of the messenger, Zhu Ping suddenly raised his head before Zhu Zhanhe could speak.

His face was full of disbelief.

He was not surprised that King Yue and King Xiang were gathering their troops to go south. After all, their relationship with the orthodox emperor was much closer than their relationship with Zhu Zhanhe.

Moreover, based on the current situation, the orthodox emperor has passed away. According to the order of distinction between concubines and concubines, and the order of elders and younger ones, King Yue is the most promising to become the new king of the Ming Dynasty, but King Xiang is not without a chance.

The King of Yue was really mediocre. In terms of character and ability, King Xiang Zhu Zhanyi far surpassed the King.

but……

In this situation, they started killing each other?
It's understandable to say that after the overall situation was established, the two of them started fighting each other for the throne, but now?
Could it be that there really is a person who is sensible and can kill relatives just for the sake of the overall situation?
